These non-Apple "ultrabooks" need to lower their prIces badly. They're playing games in the wrong market.
Agreed wholeheartedly.
Though the reason why you'd get this over a MBA is if you hate Apple so much that you just couldn't live with the Apple logo on your laptop, but love everything else about it.
It's kind of funny how Apple has had the MBA out for four years now and other companies are finally latching on and well, for a lack of better words either following right in Apple's footsteps, copying, or just realizing Apple had it right to begin with.
If these Ultrabooks can land in the $600-700 range or lower, then we have a contender, until then, they're stupidly priced when you can get a MBA and beyond stellar Customer Service pretty much anywhere instantly (huge advantage to Apple and their stores tbh).
